About DownTown Mystic

The sound of DownTown Mystic is “vintage yet modern”. The music is rooted in all the great traditions of American Rock‘n’Roll, blending story telling songs with vintage guitars and analog recording into a unique style that owes nods to Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, Eagles, The Beatles and Rolling Stones but somehow manages to sound as contemporary as anything currently available.

It’s November and turkeys are on the run with Thanksgiving coming up. That means Black Friday shopping sales and the fat man in the red suit is just around the corner. That also means that 2018 is almost over! Where did this year go? The big news in the sky is Jupiter is now direct with Venus next to follow, so get ready to ROCK!! With the big planet of good luck now moving forward, the upcoming Mercury Retrograde won’t be as big a problem as usual as long as you take the usual precautions.

NEW NEWS…DownTown Mystic’s new digital single “Think A Little Louder” will be released on Nov. 23 via AWAL/Kobalt Music in the US. Pre-orders are now available on iTunes and Amazon.

As mentioned previously, Sha-La Music has signed a Licensing Agreement to join the roster of boutique labels under the European flagship of BMP. DownTown Mystic will see a trifecta of releases at the end of this month when “Rock’n’Roll Romantic” along with “Standing Still” and “DownTown Mystic” get released via Believe Digital in Europe and the rest of the world on Nov. 30.

RADIO…The new single “Think A Little Louder” will be released to Radio on Nov. 28 via iPluggers. The previous “Turn Around And Go” Single had a very successful run at Radio, getting airplay on over 180 radio stations in 26 countries. That number pales in comparison to the single being downloaded and added by a number of companies with In-Store play, including the world’s leader Mood Media. A conservative estimate of in-store play for “Turn Around And Go” would be between 8-9,000 stations in over 40 countries!! That number is based on just 1% of the actual number of stations that the single was made available to by the In-Store companies.

SYNC…DownTown Mystic now has music sync licensed on over 160 TV shows that get televised in more than 20 countries around the world. As previously mentioned, we found out that the film “Monumental” with Jeremy Irons, had been re-titled as “Better Start Running”. We have the song “Fly Like The Wind” featured in the last 35 seconds of the trailer for “Better Start Running”!!

September is here and so is the end of summer. The Autumnal Equinox or the 1st day of fall will be here on Sept. 22. The days will begin to get shorter and a chill will be in the air as the leaves fall from the trees. It’s a nice thought but the summer temps are still around bringing hurricanes and disasters with them. Hopefully, things will cool down soon.

NEW NEWS…DownTown Mystic just had some new photos taken in a NYC photo shoot with ace LA photographer Mark Maryanovich that took place in Brooklyn and lower Manhattan a couple of weeks ago. You can check out some of the shots on our FaceBook and Instagram pages. Also check out Mark’s work at: http://www.markmaryanovich.com/

If it’s August then the dog days of summer are here! The dog days of summer refer to the hottest and most humid days of the summer, which the Romans associated with the time of the year that the star Sirius was in the sky. Sirius is called the Dog Star, hence the term “the dog days of summer”. While we’re on the topic of the stars, there was a New Moon Solar Eclipse this past weekend and the Mercury Retrograde will end next weekend, so things are looking up!

Happy Birthday USA! It’s July and summer has arrived. Time to kick back and hit the beach! Not much else to do since this is being called “The Summer of Retrogrades”. There are 7 planets in retrograde this summer so if you don’t want to go crazy, just chill out for a bit. The good news is that not all seven will be retrograde at one time but there will be 6 and that’s close enough. Mars just went retrograde while Jupiter is going direct next week and then Neptune will go retrograde the following week, with a Mercury retrograde at the end of the month. Fun!

NEW NEWS…Last month we mentioned that DownTown Mystic would have the new “Turn Around and Go” Single coming out this summer. The release date is on Friday July 6. This is the 1st release under the new Sha-La/AWAL/Kobalt Music deal. It’s already available at iTunes, Amazon, Apple and other fine online stores.

June has arrived and we’re almost halfway through 2018. Amazing! In a couple of weeks the Summer Solstice will once again be upon us. Where does the time go? The other big news in the sky was the planet Uranus moving into the sign of Taurus a couple of weeks back. Uranus is very slow moving and takes a long time to get through each sign of the zodiac, so when it enters a new sign it’s kind of a big deal. Uranus is all about sudden change and Taurus is not too fond of change, so as you might imagine, this is not a great match made in heaven, or in this case, the heavens. How will this affect you? It depends on how much you value stability and your willingness to let go of your security blanket in order to grow. Since Taurus represents Mother Earth, you can count on environmental issues coming up in a big way to protect the planet over the next 8 years.

NEW NEWS…Speaking of change, DownTown Mystic is currently in the process of change. Sha-La Music and Nub Music have agreed to go their separate ways, so the “Rock’n’Roll Romantic” album will not be released on Nub. Sha-La is currently talking to interested parties in Europe. One of those parties is AWAL/Kobalt Music in London, which has signed a distro deal with Sha-La. 1st AWAL release will be the “Turn Around and Go” Single due out in the summer.
